The Short Hair Craze.

The short hair craze died some time ago,
but the disease has broken out again, and the
hcalachey danes, married coqucts and
girls who 90 the pace have taken up the fad
again. The regular "close cut" is ordered,
and then follows II coiirure n la Cupid. This
consists in having what is called steam
curl, the process being the same as that en-
ployed by BARRIERS in turning the muStache
ends of club men. An improved curler
heated ly steam is used in the operation, con-
sumng an hour or SO. The curls are short,
close, but thick little ringlcts exactly like
those that the sculptors have idc!.:iied the
blind boy with. Only fifty cents is charged
for the dressing, which is remarkably cheap,
considering the tenacity II the curls. Think
of cirls for three weeks retailing at tify'
ccnts--curls, too, that women can sleep in,
and look pretty in, which is best of all feat
ures. No dressing is needed to keep the head
slightly.
When the fair damspl arranges her toilet
after getting in and out of numberless skirts,
it is only necessary to run u rack comb dag
onally through tbe lanly tresses to have them
as roguish and graceful as though twisted. by
natures own curling iron. Indeed, the curls
are improved by much tossing and blowing
about, and if the girl is half pretty, and any
place under 25, she is sure to have in her
jaunty wig a captivating air.-Inter Ocean,

Here, mountains and valleys of glory;
There, echoes Of immortal song. . .-
